Double Gator Dad;155993 said:I am speaking in general terms. You mentioned two players (Harvin is from Virginia and Virginia is not the northeast) that were great but there have been gobs of them that were not. Most people on this board would agree that a first team 6A all state player from Florida is typically a better player than an all american from the northeast which is the point I am trying to make.
Not all basketball all americans from Florida are underperformers (see Vince Carter et al) but for the most part they are not as good as an all american from say NY or Chicago.
I thought my comment was pretty benign and generally accepted but I guess I hit a nerve or something.
Didn't hit a nerve. I just a don't normally think of 5 star players from the northeast not panning out. Now California, or west coast recruits in general, that's another story. I can't think of a single recent Cali recruit that lived up to their ranking with us.
